Plastic Nation Lyrics - Rebirth Of A Nation - Public Enemy

Tell me what you don't like about yourself? 

Uh, I need liposuction under my chin and everywhere 

I hate the bump on my nose, I hate my breasts 

And my stomach has stretch marks, they make me sick 

I'd like those to go away, been saving up my money for this 

What if she tried to get her face erased like it was commonplace? 

Maybe just crazy because the doctor said she could 

With new hips and tits, maybe fuller lips 

All it take a day and some pay for the tuck and nip 

Call the Hoover remover, by the time they was through-ah 

Her whole body would look the way she thought it should 

They shake a splatter of fat and move from this to that 

Like Frankenstein but blind because it's in her mind 

Don't know what she felt, or why she hated herself 

Maybe dolls and shows or maybe videos 

Now, it's plain to see the girl loves TV 

Because she's chasin' a dream we know can never be 

Was all part of the plan to keep her lookin' right 

Thinkin' she could be Janet if she took the knife 

It's not a sin to be thin, she tryin' hard to fit in 

Knowin' soon she'll be a citizen of the Plastic Nation 

Tell me what you don't like about yourself? 

I wanna change my face, and I wanna change my body 

I wanna change my body 

Tell me what you don't like about yourself? 

I wanna change my face, it would be so great, it would be so great 

Tell me what you don't like about yourself? 

I wanna change my face, and I wanna change my body 

I wanna change my body 

Tell me what you don't like about yourself? 

I wanna change my face, it would be so great 

Now, she was more crazy than lazy 'til she had a baby 

Tryin' to move and improve upon on what God gave her 

Just like the swan, she thought she had it goin' on 

But never once thought it was wrong or that it wouldn't save her 

Went to the clinic, was in it for over half a day 

As they sliced and diced to put the parts in place 

Her body's bruised, abused, 'cause her mind's confused 

Bent on livin' a lie but never satisfied 

And you know it ain't right, that's somebody's daughter 

Now her face is so tight that you can bounce a quarter 

And the feeling ain't back, they said it'll never be back 

She's a creature with features broken out of order 

That's why we try to find a way to get inside 

And make you love your life and never need the knife 

It's not a sin to be thin, don't need to bleed to fit in 

Now, she's another citizen of the Plastic Nation 

Tell me what you don't like about yourself? 

I wanna change my face, and I wanna change my body 

I wanna change my body 

Tell me what you don't like about yourself? 

I wanna change my face, it would be so great, it would be so great 

Tell me what you don't like about yourself? 

I wanna change my face, and I wanna change my body 

I wanna change my body 

Tell me what you don't like about yourself? 

I wanna change my face, it would be so great, it would be so great 

I need liposuction, I'd like bigger calves 

I need liposuction, and I'd also like to go up to a C cup 

Tell me what you don't like about yourself? 

Maybe I could have her ears 

Maybe I could have her ears, and I like her nose 

Tell me what you don't like about yourself? 

Because they don't stick out like ours do see
